Richmond, TX

I read some article during a research for alternative treatment methods and became curious on the subject of Homeopathic treatment of autism. The subject was very interesting with a lot of case studies and feedback from parents who are using this alternative method. Does anyone have any input on this subject? Please kindly share you experiences on the Homeopathic and Biomedical Treatment for Autism.

Suggestions For Tracker / Locater

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Roanoke, TX

We are taking our 10 year old daughter with classic autism to Disney World in january, which spurred us to start looking at trackers.

I appreciate any suggestions or anecdotes. Thanks!

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Miami, FL

Out of pure desperation, my wife is seeking possibilities with alternative treatments. One of mom's in school (we just started LEAP program) recommended and said it did miracles for her.
